I worked on Return from the ashes


In the 60's I was a young stage hand at MGM Borehamwood, and I was the stage hand working on this film when it was made. I was surprised that it didn't seem to receive the acclaim that I believed it deserved - in fact, it never seemed to appear in any local cinema and didn't appear on TV for years.
The cast were excellent. Maximillian must have been a method actor because I recall him getting into character by talking to himself as if he was really about to do whatever was being filmed next. Samantha was beautiful, and I was totally in awe of Herbert Lom who I'd recently seen on a different set in the Pink Panther. I really enjoyed working on this movie, and just wish I'd been able to see it on the big screen.
